This is the README file for Locale::Maketext::Lexicon, a module providing
lexicon-handling backends, for "Locale::Maketext" to read from other
localization formats, such as PO files, MO files, or from databases via
the "Tie" interface.
For extracting translatable strings from source files, a "xgettext.pl"
utility is also installed by default.
You can also read my presentation "Web Localization in Perl" in the docs/
directory. It gives an overview for the localization process, features
a comparison between Gettext, Msgcat and Maketext, and talks about my
experiences at localizing web applications based on HTML::Mason and the
Template Toolkit.
* Installation
Locale::Maketext::Lexicon uses the standard perl module install process:
cpansign -v # optional; see the SIGNATURE file for details
perl Makefile.PL
make # or 'nmake' on Win32
make test
make install
